Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to Ahmed bin Ali Stadium that hosts another battle between Japan and Costa Rica.
  • 5' - Costa Rica is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Costa Rica does not make any changes. Ko Itakura has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 20' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Joel Campbell suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - Costa Rica is showing some good football. However, Costa Rica are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yuki Soma made 327 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 40' - Keysher Fuller has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 41' - The referee calls foul for Anthony Contreras. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 42' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Anthony Contreras.
  • 44' - Japan receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 44.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Ayase Ueda as he departs to be replaced by Takuma Asano.
  • 51' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 56' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
  • 61' - Costa Rica receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 61.
  • 62' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Celso Borges on 62.
  • 62' - Another change for Japan made on 62 minute. Miki Yamane leaves to be changed by Kaoru Mitoma.
